Where I come from, it has always been important to show that you have the capacity to do something. In our communities, achievement has never been a silent affair, as it is marked, celebrated, and witnessed. When a girl comes of age, there is a ceremony to show that she is ready for marriage. Among the Baganda, for instance, a …
The education landscape has become a fast-moving vehicle, and unless we hold on tight, we risk falling.
At Teaching Training Together, we believe in the power of training and in its ripples.
Early in my teaching career, I was filled with boundless enthusiasm. I wanted every student to conquer the mountain of learning alongside me.

Reality hit when I reached the school and found a total mismatch between what I had studied at the university and …

Our Partners on the continent of Africa do not have physical offices in TTT so they themselves become the “office” as they begin to prepare months in advance to host a seminar.
